Released1998
Enter the world of the Wee People and do your best to save them from the QueenPede, who will stop at nothing to destroy this peaceful race of humanoids. In this remake of the classic Atari game, players take the role of Wally, the village's humble bean counter, as he is quickly recruited to man the village bug shooter and sent off to save the colony from the ruthless QueenPede and her destructive subjects -- the spiders, scorpions, and fleas -- as she sets out to conquer the peaceful wee people. Work your way through all-new 3D worlds with new weapons and skills. And if you're really good, you might just discover the original Centipede.

About This Game

Once every hundred years, the Queen Pede rises from beneath the earth with her armored insect army to destroy the Wee people of Weedom. Each generation believes that when they finally defeat the insects, the curse has ended for good — and each generation is wrong. This cycle has repeated for centuries. This time, the magic stick has chosen a hero named Wally, who must pilot the shooter vehicle through five worlds — Weedom, Frostonia, Inferium, Enigma, and Evile — and defeat the Queen Pede once and for all.
